About Wiffle Wars

Starting in 2017, Wiffle Wars expanded from playing in a backyard to playing at CHS field before a St. Paul Saints game. The first year it started, the event raised over $8,000 for United Heroes League. Based on the success of the inaugural tournament, the teams were expanded and in 2018, $11,085 was raised for the Hendrickson Foundation.

In 2019, Wiffle Wars is again expanding and will include 6 teams of Minnesota athletes and media personalities trying their hand at wiffleball to support Children’s Minnesota. Join us for all of the Wiffle Wars action, then stay for the Saints game at 7 p.m.

Past participants have included Zach Parise, Jason and Carly Zucker, Jana Shortal, Justin Morneau, John Randle and more. See many more fan favorites again this year.
